mytaxi - The Taxi App - App Review



Used the App to book a taxi and then, even pay with the App. These together with a host of neat features make this a great App for taxi users.
The only downside is that it is currently only available in about 30 German towns, as well as Vienna (Austria), Zürich (Switzerland), and Washington D.C..

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
First off, you need to register, which is not a surprise as otherwise some comedians would play havoc with innocent taxi drivers.

When you come to use the App, simply confirm that your pick-up address is your current location; if it is not, enter the appropriate address. You can choose to be collect as soon as possible, or at an agreed time.

You’ll know which taxi is yours as the confirmation includes the vehicle registration number, as well as the name and mobile number for the driver.

The really neat bit is that you can actually track the whereabouts of the taxi coming to collect you; this is especially useful when there are traffic jams and you can walk one block and save masses of time.

The App allows you to save your trips, have favourite drivers, and even calculate (estimated) fares.

Cost
There is no charge for either the App, or the service (obviously, except the fare).

Indispensability
If you've looked for a taxi in the rain and got wet, this could be a solution.

Dependability
The App is reliable.

Security
The registration process involves you giving your name, address, telephone number and email address.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Can't wait until it's more widely available.
